Mini Amazon
September 2021 - December 2021
Built a data driven web application in a team of five students using Flask and PostgreSQL to emulate the functionality of an online marketplace like Amazon. A data generator was also created in Python to populate the website with users, products, and transactions.
Color Sorting Robot
October 2021 - December 2021
Programmed and simulated a UR5 robot for sorting blocks by color and placing them in the appropriately designated bins. The robot uses a USB camera and vacuum grippers along with OpenCV computer vision software.
Pressure Vessel
October 2021 - November 2021
Designed, machined, and tested a gas pressure vessel to 1000psi in a team of four students. The device was fabricated from 1215 steel and used an O-ring face seal to maintain fluid pressure inside the vessel.
Robotic Motion Planning
September 2021 - October 2021
Programmed and simulated a UR5 robot using Gazebo and MoveIt for robotic motion planning. The robot end effector is made to trace the letters 'T' and 'H' in space using cartesian trajectories and predetermined joint goals.
Shaft Design Project
September 2021 - October 2021
Designed and machined a shaft in a team of three students for tensioning a machine drive. The shaft interfaces with two bearings and a timing belt sheave, axially located at a set distance from the shaft end.
Cache Simulator
April 2021
Wrote a program in C to simulate the behavior of an LRU cache given a trace file of memory accesses. Designed the simulator to accept cache configuration parameters, including size, associativity, and writing policy
Processor Core Design
March 2021 - April 2021
Designed and implemented a 16-bit RISC processor from scratch using Logism. The CPU has 8 registers and separate memory blocks for instructions and data.
Pac-Man Artificial Intelligence
February 2021 - March 2021
Developed a game-playing AI agent for Pac-Man using object oriented programming in Python. Applied concepts in informed search, probabilistic inference, and reinforcement learning.
Magnetic Levitation Device
October 2020 - November 2020
Modeled, designed, and simulated a PID controller for a magnetic levitation device. Validated performance specifications with laboratory testing and evaluated stability criteria using MATLAB and Maple.
Automated Mast Sorting Device
August 2018 - May 2019
Sponsored by the Duke Forest, I worked in a team of five students to design and prototype a device for automatically sorting tree nuts using purely mechanical methods. In a team of three students, I improved the design and machined a higher fidelity prototype using aluminum and polycarbonate components.
Captain America Shield Launcher
February 2019 - March 2019
Designed, modeled, and prototyped an injection moldable toy to be presented at a toy fair to a team of professional engineers from the McDonald's Happy Meal toy team. The final prototype was 3D printed in high quality by an independent manufacturer.
